as coulda you, but you chose this poseur drivel and also chose not to shit on the bozo. fuck them and anyone bringing that voodoo shit in here.

shitting on the head on any and all religions is the obligation of any thinking and moral individual; don't care one bit what fucko jerks off to, they are all the same to me.

is this rage bait wtf I care about your imaginary shit the same way I care about what jedis and orcs would think about the thing

I used the 2nd option to connect a macbook pro 17 2006 to my desktop; can't let go of that stupid thing, no idea why. can't remember having issues with the cursor displaying (also Plasma, Fedora desktop + arch 32-bit on laptop), but the lag was annoying and the fans wouldn't stop hollering (Core 2 Duo and ATI X1600 struggling to keep up) so I tore it down. before that tried using an android tablet to same end but also gave up as it wasn't useful for anything.

thank you for the translation; I understood like five words in the link. sadly, the entry barrier of expensive hardware is way too much to play with it, moral issues notwithstanding. bookmarked to revisit in a decade or so, inshallah.

yeah that was fucking wild. although I am anti-ai, I do make a distinction between vibeshitting and using the thing as a boilerplate helper; what he said there should make anyone squeamish about letting this thing loose on your home folder.

this is an insanely professional-looking project, the (potential) vibed-ness notwithstanding. sadly, unless there's some post describing what for and how claude & friends is used, not even thinking of touching that.

a year ago I could get the Poco F1 and Oneplus 6T at those prices. SDM845, 8 GB RAM, fast storage, widely available, fully postmarketOS and mobian supported, some Halium options (Ubuntu Touch) along with LineageOS et al. nowadays even faster ex-flagships can be had in the $50 region. that's what you get when you wanna experiment and tinker, not 10x that to get the same feature set.

they're latching on to the "go euro" trend, hoping this will send some wind in their sails. it won't.

they need to fully opensource the thing and invest in supporting the tinkerers and the enthusiasts. what they got now with only some experia models and paying for licences and whatnot couldn't be more of a deterrent. I can assure you, you're not losing paying customers with giving the OS away, every tinkerer is gonna bring you at least 20 paying customers.

the only way you're gonna sell those things is by having a wide and knowledgable user base that will work as your sales people. ubuntu has been at this for, what, three decades and is still lightyears away from being a household name. jolla's gonna need fucking eons with this spiel.

when those early adopters iron out the bugs and port shit over, then the normies will come calling and then they'll go how can I get this without the tinkering and flashing and touching someone's used yucky phone, and then jolla can go here you go, give us bricks of cash.

the idea that we're gonna shell out 10x the price of a postmarketOS-capable handset to beta-test the thing, I mean sure that's possible; it's just not very likely.

I'm commenting on your shitty takes. second, if you've spent decades (that's plural yo) on this planet, then you're familiar with the concept of a hyperbole. a hyperbole is a purposefully exaggerated statement in order to draw attention to the importance of an issue. e.g. I could eat a horse - no you couldn't, you're just mildly inconvenienced with what you think is hunger.

consequently, there's a distinction to be made between actual calls to violence (of which I haven't seen any on this platform) and vividly voicing disgust and anger.

[–] glitching@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

aside from the glaringly obvious, i.e. you're incinerating the planet for shits and giggles, the thing is unsustainable. the best guess (as they're hiding actual info) is that they have a capex in the ballpark of $1K/day/user. you're meanwhile giving them $20/mo, if at all - no math on this planet can make that sustainable.

vulture capital and greater-fool-theory can only intermittently hold the bag, but not indefinite - sora was just shut down for that reason.

first off, please announce that the video is from that brody clown so people can not click on that slop; needless to say, I ain't watched it so I don't know or care what points was made in it.

second, what OP is doing in OP and his bonehead comments is purposefully pushing a strawman argument, false dichotomy, red herring, and all the other logical fallacies in order to posture as a hero or whatever they got going on between their ears - if you're anti this bullshit "law" then you are also pro physically harming poor FOSS "contributors".

this fucking "contribution" shoulda been shot down like any other troll/bullshit plaguing every other FOSS project beset with ai bots and carma-farming typo-fixers and the like, and if by some mistake their "contribution" was accepted, here's a chance to reverse it.

cali ain't the world, which by and large ain't got no such idiocy on the books. and if it did, I wouldn't bootlick my way to submitting a patch to incorporate it; I would, in fact, oppose it any way I could.

that clown of a "contributor" has a history of simping for the backwardest ideas, antithetical to FOSS and I don't care one bit what he has to say on any one topic.

there's a pandemic of idiots doing the "I personally" thing. every fucking post and comment, some mouthbreather wants to sound distinguished and whatnot by inflating their wordcount with nothingness. what's the fucking opposite of this, "I unpersonally", what?

"I personally like to..." what the fuck! just say "I like to", it's the same sentence, nothing changed, you didn't add any nuance to your stupid fucking take.

edit: awesome reading comprehension up in here. it's not a crusade against the word, it's a rant against morons using it wrong. as in "I personally like to..." - nothing is added here by using the P-word! you liking shit is the most personal, subjective thing on the planet, you didn't add anything, you just sound like little carmine.

 

kinda bonkers that global software availability hangs on such a thing

swapped out the battery on my old Oneplus 6T with a used battery. the readings are kinda off, any way to reset that?

so, was installing the usual jellyfin-media-player flatpak on a new install as I did so many times, mistyped and was presented with a list of jellyfin related apps. there's a new Jellyfin Desktop app in there that def wasn't there before, has the official sounding org.jellyfin.JellyfinDesktop id.

installed it, looks the same. haven't caught that in the news feeds I follow, so what's the story there, what's different from the iwalton3 thingy?

$ flatpak install jellyfin

edit: so far, works as drop-in replacement, functionality is the same and command line switches work (e.g. I have a shorcut that launches it in TV mode on a 4K screen with --fullscreen --tv --scale-factor 2). the UI is noticeably faster and it plays some HEVC files that were glitching out on same hardware.

so I got a bunch of old Macbooks lying around; they can be had in the $20 region locally in varied states of decay. fixing them up is cheap and easy, so it's an inexpensive hobby with potential resale upsides. so it occured to me it'd be fun if I could paint them; cheaply of course, can't outsource this to professionals.

tried searching for successful projects but came up short. I believe the main hurdles were:

  • expensive devices, nobody wants to risk fucking them up - not an issue any more
  • you kinda hafta disassemble them as paint can fuck up a bunch of stuff - not a problem for me
  • something about aluminium not taking regular spraycans and such - might be misremembering this

this is kinda what I had in mind:

you got any pointers on what and how?

I commend the dude's ethics; I myself am fueled just by hatred and malice towards that industry, so it's refreshing to see dudes like this about. good reading, too.

 

okay, first off: hey, what the fuck?

mozilla has a A THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED MILLIONS of dollars? what were all them cookie sales for thunderbird? oh yeah, they have this shell game of interlinked but not really entities so you can play whack-a-mole till the death of the universe.

and they wanna burn it dicking around with AI? fuck each and every ghoul steering that ship into the abyss, and they can take Gnome's fucking shaman or whatwasit with them.

is everybody insane, "silicon valley" was supposed to be a satire, these cretins make mike judge seem like a prophet...

 

a phenomenal - and I contend, the best - spy thriller series.

no james bond shit and minimal "magic" hackings, endemic to the last 20+ years of TV and film production; if you're not into that sorta stuff, won't bother you none.

stellar cast, led by the fantastic Mathieu Kassowitz, exceptional showrunner with a great script, tight direction and very competent professionals.

1st season was remade last year as "the agency", with michael fassbender. pas mal, but stick with the original.

available wherever you get your torrents.
